These are an upgrade from the mesh imo.

 

[therealest1]

With these being mass produced according to the post that xmigzx shared two posts above should be good news and beneficial for everyone who truly wants these come this December.

With the leather upper confirmed I’ll wait for pics to make my decision.

Mesh upper is a no brainer but now I wanna see how these turn out

 

[rcjbbp1313]

For me it depends on how the sole looks. My 06 pair was freshened up so I’m good.

 

[206to813]

No letters? Or TBD….

Yeah,they better give us grade a, premium leather.

 

[slaughterx]

Gonna give you grade A-OK leather and youll be happy with it.

 

[airthompson]

Expecting these to be potentially the largest produced GR ever. If the leather is smooth and there isn’t eyelet letters I’m all over these. These are the best 11s and bring back memories of that DMP chaos back in 06

One thing that I don't like about these being leather is that they are going to look weird when the mesh eyelets turn yellow.

Well it's something different! I wouldn't be surprised if they release all the og colorways with leather uppers in the future just to change up the retros.

As opposed to the whole 1/3rd of the ballistic nylon part yellowing of the OG concords?

I’d much prefer full leather of these tbh.

Yeah I guess it's an ocd thing that's why it somewhat bothers me lol.The thing is I hope the leather is half way decent because generally the small amount of leather that is put around the heel area is pretty stiff. With the past few releases, I feel the only 11 that had soft leather around the heel was the 2018 Concords so hopefully something similar to that they put on the whole upper of these.

Minority but..

Mesh > leather

On 11’s

 

[rcjbbp1313]

In for either, give my OGs a rest before I need to reglue them again.

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

if you want to see how these age just look at 2019 snake skin lows. If they’re not a shoe you’re going to turn into a beater you’ll be fine

That’s not the minority. At least I don’t think it is. The mesh has always been one of my favorite features, all the way back to ‘95. I hate most leather XI mids.

I feel the mesh makes the 11s stand out more since most Jordan retros already have leather uppers.

 

[Magic33]

I have concords, so I wouldn't mind the leather to have something different

 

[g-time]

Defining moment is like an achievement/legacy type thing. I like the leather making it feel as if it’s premium even though we know it’s not if that makes any sense lol.

Most of the thread I feel is pro leather on this release.

 

[ill4eva]

People who like the ballistic mesh more than leather are the people who don’t wear their 11s. Lol. Seriously, have you ever tried to clean your Concords after heavy use? Especially if you ball in them? It sucks.
